Re: Simple question

When you see commentary then you can easily and quickly access the
value for any bar.  Add the tool to your tool bar "Expert Commentary"
then click on it to bring up a box with the values.  The icon looks
like a graduation cap.

I didn't look at the code closely so I am assuming you want the values
in the Commentary at the bottom.

So if this my trend line indicator code:

And I want to know the value today of the trend line (going up or down) then
what is the variable that gives me that value - or do I need to write one?
